Lucas North sketch

It's as done as it's ever going to get.

Lucas North from BBC's "Spooks" (as portrayed by Richard Armitage). This is a weird little sketch I did to initiate my new Moleskine sketchbook! (The paper is a cream color, so I retained that in the scan.)

This is graphite pencil, drawn freehand. Approximately 4x5 inches, I suppose. Mechanical pencil, I think .5 lead.

I have struggled with the likeness in this drawing. I have no objectivity when it comes to getting a good likeness sometimes and this is a classic example of that. Read more about my struggles on my blog: [link] I also give tips for getting a good likeness, which is sort of ironic when you think about it.
